In the fast changing competitive business environment, sustenance of growth and development is only possible through Creating performance organizations. Performing organizations develop performing people and performing people create performing organizations. This can be realized only through linking people, strategy with performance of the organization. To ensure this, a shift is required from traditional human resource function to strategic performance management function. Human resource professionals have been thrown to the challenges to master new competencies in strategizing HR functions so as to achieve business goals and make themselves the true business partners.

In the new millennium, it is an accepted fact that people alive will provide the competitive edge to organizations. It is also certain that only those organizations which can continuously create value can sustain the competition, for ‘value is the language of business and it is all about wealth.’ Who creates wealth? Undoubtedly the People. Therefore, the key focus is to enable creation of the value creators, people and HRM function has to take the lead.

Human Resource Management traditionally focused on maintenance of hygiene factors with a missionary approach, not linking their efforts to business returns. At times HR activities, instead of adding and creating value, simply added to the cost of business. Such experiences raised questions about the role of the HRM function in the organizational context. The profession has rightly realized that in the business of business, there is no place for any activity, which fails to add values. Going forward, HRM has started to transform itself to integrate with business in vale creation and to imbibe the cardinal principle of quantification and measurement of deliverables.

The task of an HR professional is to build competencies into the fabric of the business. Ultimately, HR must be seen to deliver value. This value orientation is what business needs that can translate every competency into skill and make that scalable.

Competencies to Master“Competence in the absence of strategy is like acting without an audience” David Ulrich Knowing how to reduce costs Improve service in non-core functions of the business Provide defined career ladder to people Cross sell service Ability to assess why a void exists in a business Recruiting and retaining top talent To strive for operational excellence and discipline

Dave Ulrich outlines five areas HR can measure to demonstrate results• Productivity measures – output per unit of input. Improvements in these areas might be traced back to increased training, improved work structure and so on. • Process measures, such as improving systems and workflow• HR costs and/or benefits for any specific initiatives.• Employee retention, morale, commitment and skills.• Capabilities of the organization, such as speed (response time) learning, shared mind set and accountability.

It is time to elevate HR to a new playing field, and measuring results may be the only credible way for HR to truly step up to it.

Once they have developed good business relationships throughout the Organization, and the value add is seen by the people, HR Managers will become involved to help the organization move towards a vision created for the new millennium.
